I need a name for my new mobile beauty and nails buisness need to get the ball rolling and designing flyers buisness cards magnets for my car because by the end of april i will be qualified after a month of non stop courses (poor h2b wallet!!) so will be able to start doing everythig but would like to start some bridal opacjages uo as i have noticed there arent alot of bridal packages just for on the day ... but what about before the day or for nails etc etc

my imagination is to put it pants, i dont want to use my name ie kellies beauty, i like something more fun/creative as that is me just rubbish at words haha ...does anyone have any suggestions ?? more the merrier xx

Ermmm The Beauty Nail Angel? xxx sorry not much good either

hmmmm.....I'm trying to think of ones that reflect that your mobile.....I'll try and come up with some that you could build on....

how about something like Hot-Wheels, or Pamper-Mobile

Something like Penelope Pitstop with a slogan of Let the beauty come to you!

Alliteration is a key factor that helps sell and advertise! Good luck chick! xxx

Might not be allowed Penelope Pitstop (copyright and all that). Whatever name you decide on (I can't think of any to suggest atm) I would say register a domain name (eg ****************) even if you're not ready for a website just yet. I made sure I had my domain name long before I was open for business. Also pick a business name that is likely to stick in peoples head, something short and catchy :)

I like glamour puss too. Why don't you go through the yellow pages to give you an idea of what others are already called as you will need to see if it has already been used before. Also make sure you learn how to do your accounts and tax etc. Don't want Mr tax man to chase after you!

right, stick with me, 'Herbie' was a famous beatle car and was also known as the 'love bug', so how about something like 'Love Bug Beauty', Or along the lines of scooby doo, 'The Beauty Machine'

Why don't you do a quick accounting course or business course? You can even get books from the library on how to set up your own business etc. I know it sounds scary but its better to face it now than end up in court with a big fine etc.

Most clients will not want receipts but some may do. You can buy receipt books though and hand write them. If you wanted to be really professional you could even have a stamp made with your company business name etc and vat/tax number.

oooooooooo painted and pampered now that i like


ooo jo i may have to in vest in a rubber stamp i like that

right so libary and look in to a book keeping/buisness course... wow i am going to be busy yay!!

i wonder if there are any grants etc i will be entitled too??

I absolutely love painted and pampered and glamour puss!

the place round here that can offer free advice for starting up a business is called "foothold" dont know if it would be the same name round your way

well it is kind of wedding related as this whole new buisness venture will save my marrage and already has started too as without this there would have been no wedding, plus i want to get in to bridal makeup and bridal packages maybe even a gypsy wedding!!! so thats why i posted it !! plus i dont have many firends local and its good to get the views of others that may have their own buisnesses etc as i wouldnt have the first clue where to look ....

so theres my excuse for a non wedding post lol

ooooo am gonna have to have a look round and see if their are any grants for me as that would be nice... and never thought of insurance... you see clueless!! i think i need to go seek some advice!!

thanks

good post jo x

What about
"Beauty School Drop in" ?? x

he he he! I like that name Trish! :) xxxx

yeah you will definately need insurance, as to what kind I'm not sure. And yes there is so much to setting up your own business as I found out late last year when I started mine, I'm still on a learning curve lol.

Registering for VAT is optional if you're making under £68000 a year (I think its that amount)

There are also free websites (normally something like***************) but if you have paid for a domain name (mine cost less than a tenner for co.uk one for 2 years) you can have your website point at your domain name so your clients will see *******************) and it doesnt cost anything for this redirection.

If you're in a rented property you will need permission to run a business from home but seeing as you'll be going to other peoples houses and theres no huge delivery lorrys turning up on your doorstep its usually not a problem.
